I've had a few different eink devices, and have had several kindles and the kindle apps on various tablets. I've never had a cellular eink device, and purposely chose them without.
I've found Bluetooth or just plugging the device into my desktop fine for loading books. And I and keep the devices full, so don't need to connect while on the go. I've never missed it.
I think they probably should keep the cellular option, but it may not be practical or profitable for them to keep selling them. Their agreement with the cellular services may have changed drastically from when they were first introduced.
